Kasia’s Digital Art Examins Human Emotions With a Scalpel

Edinburgh based illustrator, Kasia (known online only by her first name), treats her work as a sort of bridge between herself and her audience—a bridge that allows her to communicate her emotions fully, be it euphoria, heartache, or grief. “I try not to tiptoe around the subject,” said Kasia in an interview with Jung Katz, “instead, I want to examine and explore these sensations with a scalpel.”

“Art is a powerful tool it has that unique ability to engage individuals in a very deep and personal way,” she went on to explain. “It’s like the door to other people’s minds and hearts. When people open them to you, you receive a rare chance to show them the world, through your own eyes.”

With her heart and mind wide open, Kasia’s digital illustrations haven’t gone unnoticed, attracting selected clients that include Apple, ASOS, and New Look. Working as a freelance illustrator from her home studio, she also collaborates with boutique stores and brands.

Her more personal artworks have also created a small buzz. Since graduating from the University of Marie Curie Sklodowska in Lublin Poland with a Master’s Degree in Arts, Kasia has exhibited her work at Berlin’s Biennale of Illustration and Graphic Art, blue-chip gallery Walton Fine Arts in London, amongst other venues.
